Prevent defense: why?

It beat the Jets today.

It forced the Redskins to win in overtime.

It could have beat the Texans if Miami converted the two-point conversion.

Why do coaches still believe in this crap defense?

    Skins won because of the Jags lack of tackling. 2 guys were well within reach and simply didn't lay a hand on Moss.
    Collecting;
    Mark Mulder rookies
    Chipper Jones rookies
    Orlando Cabrera rookies
    Lawrence Taylor
    Sam Huff
    Lavar Arrington
    NY Giants
    NY Yankees
    NJ Nets
    NJ Devils
    1950s-1960s Topps NY Giants Team cards

    Looking for Topps rookies as well.

    THANK YOU. IMO this is a huge problem in the NFL, in this case if that idiot Defensive player from the Jags wanted to tackle instead of flying in the air to put a hit on Moss that game might still be in session.

    You're right. But that was in OT, and why did they have to win in OT?

    Because they played a prevent when they were winning with less than 2:00 left in regulation.

    I watched that Redskins game towards the end of the fourth quarter. The Redskins D wasn't even guarding the sidelines. I'm not sure what Gibbs was thinking?
